Glad to have snagged one of These. "Coach jackets" are perhaps my favorite functional garment.

Getting a lot of wear out of this at work.
Anyone have any idea how to wash it?? Tag says no machine wash, but the lining could stand to be freshened up.

I'd gently hand or machine wash…..

Thanks Giles.  My worry with a hand wash was That the soap might not completely get Removed from the area between the lining and the back.. I'll Try the "hand wash" cycle on the machine and hang dry.

Cheers,

Adam

Have you had success washing this?

Something in this jacket is 27% wool.  I used google translate to translate a picture of the tag and it said that the cuffs contained wool, but I would assume it's actually the lining since it's a bit itchy.  If so, perhaps dry cleaning would be an option.

@DrPat - yep - machine wash on gentle and hang dry was fine. No change in anything other than the lining being clean and softer than before.
